Missing wide

December 17, 2005|By Paul Kelly.

GLENVIEW — I enjoyed Fred Mitchell's "Best of the Bears" in his Around Town column of Dec. 15. Most of his assessments of the best Bears of all time were pretty good, except one: Mushin Muhammad? As the only wide receiver on the all-time team? This is wishful thinking.

Granted, the Bears may not be overflowing with all-time greats at that position, but still--56 catches through 13 games as a Bear? Holy Harlon Hill, why not Harlon Hill? Or Johnny Morris or Dick Gordon or Willie Gault? Curtis Conway? There are so many better candidates than Moose.
